TA>Temps got to 90F and over 70 humitity today, so after
TA>yard chores I spent the rest of the day in our naturally
TA>air conditioned basement ( Wayne will recognize this as
TA>the "celler" in our 1800s home 8-). After transplanting
TA>some tomato seedings; fixing a couple chairs and fans;
TA>I found a small carton of what appears to be some classic
TA>78 vinyl records that has collected some yuck.

TA>Several of you all have discussed copying old recordings so
TA>I am hopeing you will be able to advise me how to best clean
TA>these records before I attempt playing and copying (some
TA>other very hot day 8-( please.

I would advice using a Very mild solution of soap and water. And then
rinsing with Distiled water. I concider REAL distilled better then the
DE-Ionized water some for Distiled uses. It is fine for Steam Irons and
Lead Acid Batteries but still might leave some residue after drying on
the records..
